MIR track rental 3/8/13

Spring is around the corner and it's time to bring the cars out from hibernation! Track will be open from 9am to 5pm and will cost $100/car. We will have both lanes reserved but one lane will be dedicated to drag Radial or slick cars only. Street tires can run in the other lane. If you really want to know how fast your car is bring it to the track!

Bout time! I was getting bored down here. Lol warm weather and no traction sucks!
I believe I can get JSBenz to come also. He just ran 10.5x in his CL55. Imagine what he could do in cold weather.

That does seem a bit far. How to you feel about this Saturday at Sac, I'm picking up 10 gallons of Q16 tomorrow. I'm going to test the slicks and change the tire size as well to make sure it works this time

Sounds like a plan. Hopefully my truck will be running good then and I'm going to get my buddies N/A Toyota X-runner with all of Gadgets parts running down into the 13's. Cant wait to see what your bringing up this time.

Were you only able to make 1 run because of the other cars and the short track time? How did you run?

No i was the first one there. I tried to make two earlier runs but either the track was too cold or I didn't get the tires hot enough or a combination of both so on my third attempt I got it to stick and ran 10.88. At that point I had my personal best in the 60' 1/8 & 1/4 so I left. My next trip out will be with Hoosiers on the rear and try to run 10.7

Just found my fuel guy, the only VP distributor in the greater Sacramento area isn't going to make it out today. Hopefully I'll have the stuff tomorrow and the slicks tested by tomorrow.
